A delicate exploration of the discrimination that gender-diverse people face, this book analyzes the relationship between gender identity and performance in the workplace while considering the emotional and economic survival of those who identify as transgender. • Discusses long-ignored nuances of transgender identity through narratives of non-binary, gender-fluid, and genderless experiences, in the context of workplace discrimination • Extends existing theoretical literature on masculinity in the workplace, gender discrimination, and gender performance • Identifies factors that may preclude and minimize discrimination • Proposes a pragmatic set of policy recommendations for employers, community leaders, and others • Provides best practices around such policy items as bathroom access, workplace transition, hiring practices, and inclusive workplace culture
